“When I paint, there’s always a moment where I just know that I’m finally finished. The colors and textures come together to depict a feeling of rightness.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story

“There are people out there who don't have the energy to help people get better. They just accept the other person's flaws, and sure, there's less conflict to deal with, but it's almost like living out a lie. Then there are people who aren’t afraid to point out something’s wrong—even something as little as a typo. In the end, you’re making something better, and that’s more than other people are willing to do.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story

“That’s Ali. This is me. And I want you, specically, to read this.â€�
“Why?� I say, laughter bubbling in my throat.
“Because I’ve never written something like this. So I want you to be the first one to read my first article.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story

46.0% "The premise is quite nice but this book is falling flat for me� I like certain aspects for it, sure. The food descriptions are getting all my highlights. And yet, it’s dragging forever getting to the finish line. I will not add this to a DNF shelf, I push through. Where’s the action? The drive?"
